As a Technical Games Designer responsible for weapons, you will be responsible for defining an integral component of the gameplay experience with weapons, camera, mechanics, and rhythm of the combat.

In your first few weeks in this Technical Designer role, you can expect to:

  • Work closely with animators, gameplay programmers, and other teams to prototype and implement features 
  • Own designs through a full development cycle from concept to release. 

To apply for this weapons role, you will need experience as a Technical Designer on 1+ title(s), preferably on a first-person shooter. You will also require the following: 

  • Experience with visual scripting (i.e., Blueprints, Node Graphs, etc.) 
  • A passion for, and a deep understanding of, first person combat mechanics 
  • Experience developing downloadable content for a live AAA game 
  • Experience working with hands-on prototypes, documentation and brainstorming. 

In return for your dedication, collaboration and commitment, you'll receive a generous salary and benefits package, joining a welcoming and inclusive culture.
